Within the spectrum of green politics there are many perspectives and philosophies that have a diversity of focuses and varying levels of support. They are often described as sitting on a spectrum from Dark to Bright, something like this:

Energy Justice - what is it, and why does it matter?
Drew Wolfendale · 30 September 2023
So, when environmentalists mention "energy justice", what is it they're really talking about, and why can't they give you a simple answer?

Yet, in the vocabulary of climate campaigning, this term crops up more and more. Why is that? Well you’ve probably heard the phrase, “a just and fair transition”, which is about looking after people and communities in industries that are destined to suffer major disruption as a result of a transition to a carbon neutral or carbon negative economy. Fundamentally that’s about not leaving people behind.
